DI-704 Quick Installation Guide
1. Hardware Installation
A. Setup LAN connection: connect an Ethernet cable (straight-through) from your
computer’s Ethernet port to one of the LAN ports of the DI-704.
B. Setup WAN connection:connect the network cable from your cable or DSL modem
to the WAN port of the DI-704. Use the cable that came with your Cable or DSL
modem. If you don’t see a link light on the WAN LED, try the other network cable.
C. Power on: connect the power cord to power inlet and turn the power switch on. The
DI-704 will automatically enter the self-test phase. When in the self-test phase, the
indicators M1 and M2 will be lit for about 5 seconds, and then M1 and M2 will flash
three times to indicate that the self-test operation has finished. Finally, the M1 will
flash continuously once per second to indicate that the DI-704 is in normal operation.

5. Configure the DI-704 with PPPoE
What is PPPoE?
PPPoE stand for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. It is a non-standard method
of connecting to your ISP to gain an IP address. It relies upon a software client that is
provided by the ISP. An IP address is required to gain a connection to the Internet.
How can I tell if I am using PPPoE?
PPPoE requires a client on your computer. If you have a broadband connection and
have to login to your provider in a similar fashion to how you would dial in with a
modem, you are probably using PPPoE. If you are simply connected to the Internet
when you turn on your computer, you probably are not. The safest way to check is to
call your provider, or read the documentation provided with your Internet service to
determine if you currently use PPPoE.
